This is the Title of the Book, eMatter Edition

Chapter 1: Introduction to Flash Remoting

See also Programming ColdFusion MX, by Rob Brooks-Bilson (O’Reilly), for informa-

tion on ColdFusion. The trial/developer version of ColdFusion MX can be obtained

together with Flash MX in the Macromedia Studio MX bundle.

J2EE Application Servers and Java Servlet Engines

The Flash Remoting gateway is available as a standalone product for any J2EE-

compatible application server. It also works with a Java servlet engine that has been

certified compatible with Sun’s servlet 2.2 or 2.3 specifications, such as Tomcat.

Flash Remoting for J2EE allows remote services to be deployed as:

• JavaBeans

• Java classes

• Enterprise JavaBeans

Macromedia has tested the functionality with J2EE servers such as JRun 4, IBM

WebSphere AS 4, and Sun ONE Web Server, although they also mention reports of

success with Tomcat and other servers. For the latest information on supported

application servers, consult the Flash Remoting documentation at the Macromedia

site.

Chapter 7 discusses Flash Remoting for J2EE servers in detail. The OpenAMF

project, an alternative to Macromedia Flash Remoting gateway for J2EE, is also dis-

cussed briefly at the end of Chapter 7.

Macromedia JRun 4

JRun is Macromedia’s J2EE-compliant Java application server. Flash Remoting

comes preinstalled with Macromedia JRun 4 and allows developers to deploy remote

services as:

• JavaBeans (stateful)

• Java classes (no state and no pool, new instance on every request)

• Enterprise JavaBeans (EJBHome and EJBObject)

• JMX MBeans

• Server-Side ActionScript (SSAS)

• SOAP-based web services

Because JRun 4 is a J2EE-based server, it supports access to the same services as

other J2EE-compatible application servers mentioned earlier, as well as Server-Side

ActionScript, JMX MBeans, and SOAP-based web services. For more information on

JRun, or to download a fully functional trial version that will revert to a developer’s

version after 30 days, go to:
